Booked a room at the Vdara to host my graduation party and boy was I pleased. I can't get enough of this hotel because all the staff were so accommodating to all my needs. In fact, I was so impressed with my stay I emailed the management on how well trained their employees are on providing excellent customer service. If only they trained everyone else in the world working in customer service. I stayed in the executive hospitality suite, which is the largest room they have if I'm not mistaken. 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen with a large front counter with breakfast nook and 2 and a half baths. There was also a washer and dryer, which is probably useful if you're staying a few days especially if you have kids. The major downer about these rooms is that you don't get a view of the strip or the beautiful fountains at Bellagio because these rooms are located on the opposite side of the hotel. I was told by front desk all these types of suites only have a view of Aria and the I-15 freeway, not bad I'll take it. Beds were comfortable from what I can remember.
The pool area is small, but ambiance is fitting for the demographic of those staying at the hotel. Pretty mellow with mainly mid aged adults and a few kids here and there. My only suggestion would be is for the music to be louder as Lee had also mentioned in his review.
P.S. LOCALS: if you are looking to have a "hotel party" Vdara is a good option, despite all the noise coming from my room (music and a ton of people), I did not get one complaint nor did I have security warn me about the noise level. I know at other hotels they shut down your party immediately if other guests are bothered.
